Nintendo Feel? Probably not.

From reports published so far, Nintendo is trying to strengthen its relations with 3rd parties to get them back on board, making competitive content for them once again. A controller with haptics is not the way to do it. For Nintendo to win devs back over, this console has to be developer friendly with industry standard features, namely, it has to at least support a gamepad with four face buttons, four shoulder buttons and two analog sticks. ‘Industry standard’, however, is no longer the Nintendo way – while Nintendo have created many of the industry standards we see in our consoles today, they don’t stick with them for long; they continue to pioneer new ones.
